This podcast is very informative. L. Joy and June are great host.

Timely!

Great podcast and good combination of news and information. L Joy is a great host. June could add more by being more substantive and less "side kick." June's questions and input are good but are diminished by the sound effects, outbursts, and silliness. I appreciate the desire to add something light to the heavy topics but it's a distraction (maybe she should dial it back, a bit).

#SUNDAYCIVICS... Informative and Needed.

Just became aware of #SUNDAYCIVICS podcast and I really enjoy the show. Because civics is rarely taught in our schools today, this show is also needed and fills a void. Love the interaction between L. Joy, Lurie and June. And speaking of June... let me also say that I very much enjoy her humor and I don't feel that she shhould "dial it back, a bit". Because this podcast touches some heavy topics, June's comedy/levity adds a certain balance to the show. Dare I say, that even within the "outbursts", there's a level of depth seriousness (and insightful rhetoric) within her "silliness" provided by June, IJS. Excellent show ladies! #SUNDAYCIVICS #DoYouJune
